The Wy’east High School Class of 1969 has set its reunion dates and is seeking classmate contacts. The class did not get a 40th reunion organized in 2009, but is this year planning a reunion recognizing the 44th year since graduation and the benchmark of reaching the age of “Social Security Eligibility.”

This relaxed and casual event, focusing on offering an opportunity to reconnect with classmates and “catch up,” will be held Sept. 6-7, beginning with an informal Friday evening gathering in Hood River and continuing with a Saturday evening banquet at the Best Western Hood River Inn.

Details will be emailed and mailed to class members soon. The reunion organizing committee is still seeking the current contact email and mailing addresses of numerous class members.

Anyone having contact information for one or more far-flung Wy’east Class of 1969 members is asked to email classmate contact information to wyeast69@gmail.com or call Terri Vann at 541-490-6557 or Davinne McKeown-Ellis at 541-386-4475. Please leave a message if there is no answer.
